Graphic presentation
The Graph mode shows the flow and pressure progression as
a function of time. The graph is updated every ten minutes. The
displayed graph is first meaningful after 4 hours.

Pressure
• The current flow and pressure values are indicated in the
information field.
• The left scale shows the pressure in the desired unit
(max. -10 kPa). The pressure is presented as a filled area.
• The right scale shows the flow in the desired unit
(max. 1000 mL). The flow values are presented as a line.
Zoom mode and catheter check
1. The zoom function is activated with the selection button [
The flow scale is reduced to 100 mL/min.
Return to the Graph mode with the selection button [
2. In zoom mode, the pressure differencebetween inspiration and
expiration is displayed at a flow of 0 mL/min. This pressure dif-
ference is an indication for the respiration cycle of the patient
and confirms that the catheter is not clogged.

If Thopaz does not show the respiratory movements,
request the patient to breathe slowly and deeply.
